Magic weekend
Re: Magic weekend
I will go along with you with Meeks and Jesse being our preferred 2nd row both have been on top of their games in recent weeks, but we need a replacement for Jesse so its no bad shout to have an England Knights player to stand in
Re: Magic weekend
Saints are very, very organised in defence so the only way to attack is to play off the cuff, such as off loads at every opportunity and chip kicks to make them wonder what’s going to happen next and upset their d formation.
But energy is also key. Allowing them to control the ruck is a recipe for disaster. Cas players need to struggle to get to their feet when tackled, so the ref sees that Sts are trying to slow down the play of the ball.
Overall we may as well try something different as our normal game as our previous efforts have been remarkably unsuccessful!

Re: Magic weekend
I don’t see the harm in trying something different though as we’ve been beaten by them for several seasons now.Dez wrote:Problem is that playing off the cuff against saints is lethal.orrsome wrote:Saints are very, very organised in defence so the only way to attack is to play off the cuff, such as off loads at every opportunity and chip kicks to make them wonder what’s going to happen next and upset their d formation.

No side likes having to attempt tackle after tackle when the other team is off-loading as its very tiring. If we get beaten, at least we will have tried something different, rather than our usual game that never gets results anyway.

Re: Magic weekend
From watching Saints games on Sky this year, Salford looked like the first team to really take it to Saints this year. They threw the ball around and had a game plan. If you play Saints at their own game and play rugby, they struggle. They want teams to go down the middle against their big pack, they will win pretty much every time. Think it's time we went for it Sunday and get the ball wide.

Re: Magic weekend
Whilst voiding a straightforward battle in the pack is my preferred option, this has to be on the back of dominating them when they have the ball. If we put Warmsley, Amor and Thompson (if fit) on their backsides it will knock their confidence to play a more expansive game that is usually built on the back of their go forward.
Just knock hell out of 'em!

Re: Magic weekend
Robert hicks is the ref.
Re: Magic weekend
only way you going to beat saints is a excellent kicking game good field position . Got to make sure they keep receiving the ball deep in there own half .That also means not dropping ball in are own half or giving cheap penalty's mr millner giving them good field position because nearly most times they get in are twenty there going to score. think we could grind a low scoring game win out, but if it turns into a free flowing shoot out we will get hammered again by them. The wide pitch at anfield is a concern against saints,heritage1926 wrote:From watching Saints games on Sky this year, Salford looked like the first team to really take it to Saints this year.

Clarkson and smith available, Massey a doubt according to Daryl Powell.
Re: Magic weekend
If true then Clarkson and Smith straight in for Massey and Jesse. Everyone else stays in from Leeds game.old cas lass wrote:Clarkson and smith available, Massey a doubt according to Daryl Powell.
Re: Magic weekend
First time at Anfield and decided on the cheaper tickets as there is 4 of us going, we are in the anfield road end lower, are we going to get wet if it rains? Tigers shop assured me this was where majority of Cas fans will be when I purchased my tickets.

Re: Magic weekend
Been told Mitch Clark isn’t playing
Re: Magic weekend
Clark out Maher in
Jesse out Clarkson in
Massey out Smith in
Pretty much 3 straight swaps from the Leeds game. Only Jesse being the real difference.
